VIPs take roost at Olympic stadium

China's National Stadium will rent out its VIP suites in a latest attempt to boost the revenue of the iconic landmark.

The venue, better known as the Bird's Nest, is offering to lease the naming rights of 84 executive boxes from two to 20 years. The rooms are all on the fourth tier and offer good views of the playing area below.

Yang Cheng, vice-president of the stadium, said renters will be allowed to use and even redesign the suites. "(They can) decorate the room with their own logos, images and colors, but the function cannot be changed," he said.
